Hello,
I just tried to upgrade my RAM from 16gb to 32gb. I have a ASUS TUF B550 motherboard.
I have never had memory issues before. I added in two additional sticks so i had 4x 8gb same brand, 3600, just different part numbers. I kept getting crashes on WoW, LoL and Civ 6, also chrome would randomly error saying memory issue.
I have since bought a new RAM kit:
I've tried updating the BIOS
Turning XMP off
Manually setting the timings and frequency in the BIOS
Reset CMOS by shorting the battery and the CTRLK prongs (might be wrong acronym but its the right prongs)
The only other thing i've done is in the bios i noticed my CPU had all it's core locked to 4200 mhz so i turned that to auto and got a decent performance boost on bench marking. But i keep having these crashes and its down to RAM.
I don't know what else to try as I've changed the sticks out with the two different brands and it's highly unlikely both brand new packs of ram are hardware faulty.
Edit: just did a Prime 95 blended test as recommended in the the guide, basically all workers failed either straight away or after a couple mines with a variation of the following:
FATAL ERROR: rounding was 0.5, expected was less than 0.4. What does this mean?
Any idea what I can try next to fix this?

Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz Kit
I installed just this RAM kit into slots 2 and 4, I have turned on XMP and it has pretty much the same profile as my old ram. But about 10 mins into Civ 6 the game is crashing with the same memory related error. The RAM kit is on the motherboards QVL list so i know it should work.I've tried updating the BIOS
Turning XMP off
Manually setting the timings and frequency in the BIOS
Reset CMOS by shorting the battery and the CTRLK prongs (might be wrong acronym but its the right prongs)
